Tackling a small fire with a fire extinguisher may make the difference between a small incident and a major disaster. Extinguishers are essential for the safety of your staff and visitors. They can also help the preservation of property and ensure business continuity by not letting a small fire develop into a major one.
Classes of fire
A paper, wood, fabric
B flammable liquids
C flammable gases
D combustible metals
E electrical hazards
F cooking oil / fat
Water Fire Extinguishers - A
Chubb water fire extinguishers are reliable and effective extinguishers, providing a cost effective solution for Class A fires involving burning materials such as paper, cloth, and wood.
Foam Fire Extinguishers - AB
Foam extinguishers are ideal for Class A or B fires, where the fire is burning solid materials, like wood & paper, or flammable liquids like petrol or diesel.
Powder Fire Extinguishers - ABE or BE
Dry powder extinguishers are the most versatile but do come in different forms so check what fire types they are rated for.
CO2 Fire Extinguishers – BE
CO2 fire extinguishers are highly effective against fires involving electrical equipment like computers, photocopiers & generators. Clean yet powerful, they are ideal for offices and workshops.
Wet Chemical Extinguishers - AF
Wet Chemical (Aqualoy) extinguishers are effective for cooking area fires on burning fat or oil. A liquid extinguishing agent developed specifically for kitchen ranges, cooking oils and fat fires Wet Chemical rapidly converts burning fats or oils into combustion-resistant soap. It has a cooling effect on hot surfaces and suppresses the flames with steam. Wet Chemical interrupts the process of combustion by excluding air and lowering the temperature of the fat. The soap making action aids in "clean up" which can be accomplished by using water or steam.
